Leilani’s Art: Cards, Photos, Drawing

(and writing too)

Leilani’s paintings in the background of her photo (yes I let her play with Barbie, no I am not proud of it)

I call it composition in pink…

Aloha run west. Whatever that means…. I’d think it would be sail, or at least swim. I noticed that Leilani thinks only faces and hands are tanned (Lilo’s stomach is all pink), I think it’s time we go back to Kauai and let the sun shine upon us…

ALOHA RUN WEST are words that I made on the fridge with magnetic letters. A few days before Leilani colored this drawing, I was playing with her and made some easy words for her to read, using the available letters (one of each letter–the second A in aloha is an upside down V, but Leilani transcribed it correctly as an A). After coloring, she went to the fridge and copied the words down, something she started doing at school. This is the first time I had seen her copy letters and words at home, usually we write the words and she traces them, as some of you have seen in cards.

Leilani wrote nice valentine’s cards for her friends

and drew nice pictures.

But of all hearts I think these are the coolest. I have never seen the idea before, and I am sure neither has Leilani.

She wrote a date. It was made on the 3rd of February and in Austria it would be perfectly acceptable to write it like this. A and E get confused easily at this stage.

I think I need to re-take this photo, I cut off Leilani.

I think the attempt at 3-D is remarkable, shading and trying to draw a cube (it is supposed to be a house)
